With the TLC film set to premiere Oct. 21, Palmer is already hard at work on other projects. She’s filming the drama Brotherly Love currently (“It’s about how the choices you make truly determine who you are and where you’re going in this world”), and putting the finishing touches on her upcoming second album.
“I’m not as good at keeping up with everything as I’d like to be,” Palmer reveals. “Acting takes up a lot of time. Sometimes I can’t get to the studio when I want to be in the studio. But I’m working on my album with Bangladesh and we’re hoping to get a single out by the end of October and have a video as well.”
With all that she’s got going on, the singer-actress acknowledges that some facets of her life don’t get the same level of attention as her career. “Sometimes my personal life does take a backseat,” she says. “My job never takes a backseat. Sometimes I feel like my life is in shambles and I’ll still be doing my job. It’s unintentional. It’s not like I say ‘I’m not going to do certain things.’ But if that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes. I can’t give up on my dreams. I can’t do that.
“I can’t even tell anyone how it feels when I’m acting,” she continues. “I don’t mean to say that I don’t have to try. But there’s something in my heart that explodes and I feel like I understand. When I’m acting, I feel like so in control and so centered. This is something that I solely get from acting and music. It’s like love itself. It’s an expression of my heart and that’s how I feel when I do it. I know that God put me on earth to do that.”
